Come Visit Us

It’s hard to imagine this place until you actually see the scope of what’s here, but once you do, you’ll realize with a sudden shock how much stuff ends up in the garbage even though it can still be used for something. Most of what we sell would have gone to the landfill if we weren’t here.

The Ecopark is also a good place to spend a rainy afternoon wandering the acres of random stuff and getting inspired for a new creative project.

In fact, there is a lot we can show and tell you about Zero Waste planning in a tour of the Ecopark. If you want to set up a tour for your group, let us know and we’ll share how we plan To End the Age of Waste.
